<h2 id="publications">Publications</h2> <p>The Applied Probability Trust (APT) published two world leading research journals, the <a href="/facts/Journal_of_Applied_Probability/tD5dTfr8">Journal of Applied Probability</a> and <a href="/facts/Advances_in_Applied_Probability/tD5dTfr8">Advances in Applied Probability</a>, until 2016.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> Joe Gani, founding editor for the two journals, intended to create outlets for researchers in <a href="/facts/Applied_probability/TfgH73Bt">applied probability</a>, as they increasingly had difficulty in getting published in the few journals in probability and statistics that existed at that time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> The Journal of Applied Probability appeared first, in 1964,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> and with a prominent editorial board from the beginning, it secured contributions from renowned probabilists.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> The Advances in Applied Probability started in 1969.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> In 2016, <a href="/facts/Cambridge_University_Press/fgEBSSRq">Cambridge University Press</a> took over the publication of the two journals. </p><p>In addition to these two journals, two further magazine style publications have been published, The Mathematical Scientist and Mathematical Spectrum. </p> <ul><li>Journal of Applied Probability (1964 – present)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a></li> <li>Advances in Applied Probability (1972 – present)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a></li> <li>The Mathematical Scientist (1976 – 2018)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a></li> <li>Mathematical Spectrum (1968 – 2016)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a></li></ul> <p>To mark special occasions, the Applied Probability Trust commissions special issues of the journal.
